Don't forget to root your phone after S-offing.
It's be important for flashing a custom rom
+1 for the recovery

If he install a custom rom.it ll be already rooted
Unless he install a ruu

Exactly, that's what I'm writing.
he must be S-off with RUU rom, and root too, without problem. It's more practice to making all operations in the same time.
But he said that he want to flash a custom rom, so he must be:
1 - S-off
2 - Root
3- Nand backup (more important)
4 - Flash rom custom
Our posts are complementary

I directly flashed a rom after s-off

Revolutionnary patch, do a quick search and you'll find link easily.

Oh come on
Nandroid backup is useless
I bought my ds and s-offed it directly
No nandroid
No root zip
When you install a recovery,you don t need nandroid unless you want to install a ruu
He want to install a rom,so if the rom is breaked,there is no problem.downloading it again,he can reflash it.
The only thing that is necessary, it s the recovery.with this you can do anything

Stock recovery

Ever since I rooted I have not been able to get into recovery to flash anything. Is this because I rooted and have to have clockwork to get into recovery now? I was stock rooted 1.73 now stock rooted 1.85 OTA
Thanks

How did you update via OTA to 1.85 and keep root? Does the OTA not take your root away? I'm only asking because 1.85 isn't rootable at the moment. Did you ever unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery when you were on 1.73?

I rooted 1.73 then used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to keep root while I did the OTA to 1.85. I never unlocked or installed a custom recovery mostly because this is a company provided phone and didn't want to go that far. This phone is so much different than the Rezound I came from and I'm kinda gun shy I guess. Lol

Gotcha. Your phone still has the stock recovery. You need to unlock your bootloader and install one of the custom recoveries before you can flash anything.

[Q] turning back to stock rom

I rooted my phone with advanced ace hack kit. I think its now rooted and s-off.
Its not important to be rooted. How can I return easly to stock ? flashing stock rom or not ?
edit: because I will give my telephone to my friend to use. the stock rom is the best. It hasnt any bugs. SO I want to return stock rom.

You can just flash a stock ROM, keeping root and S-Off. It will be stable bit your friend could also have root sometime in the future if he ever wants it. I say this because AAHK was retired, so if you go entirely back to stock you may never get S-Off again.

You can Always use Gene Poole's tool to revert to S-ON and then flash the AT&T stock RUU. I would keep S-OFF as it Is a very useful feature.

Yes. Only difference in the ROM is the presence of a su app.

[Q] Convert Verizon M8 to International...Is it possible?

Is it possible at all to convert Verizon carrier unlocked M8 to Internation version..to receive updates from HTC outside US?
Currently phone is in global network mode on GSM network in asia. But updates from Verizon are only available on CDMA network.
HTCDev has
One M8 HTC WWE zip 3.4.0 v4.4.2 91.3 MB 1.12.422.19
this file available for download.
My Theory:
1. Install weaksauce and get temporary root
2. Use firewater method to achieve S-OFF
3. Install twrp recovery
4. Flash above zip file.
Will this work?
Another Q:
1. Lets say above method works....will it restore recovery to stock? Because htc updates will only work on stock recovery right?

If you go to the main HTC One M8 threads.. they have a conversion thread for M8 to International.. and if you read it, it says there is no support for CDMA only GSM..
Verizon = CDMA
Sorry.

Imo Scott's roms ie clean rom is closest to stock than stock. You can Soff and still keep its ability in tact and change what u want to as long as you don't change recoveries

I wish it was so I could get some GPE going that has everything working. Really the only big killer for me is not being able to browse the web and be on the phone at the same time.
I just don't understand why the 2 versions of phone are so different. I mean the VZW version can work on an international system right? Doesn't the VZW version version have the same hardware as the other models just not being used? Or just maybe VZW is just a bunch of spoil sports? I'm not sure if which but either way I wish I could convert mine to work with the stock GPE.

Exactly my point. If the hardware is same it should be possible to change the software and convert from Verizon to International.

At least can someone explain why it's not possible? May be any chances in future?
Just curious -> Noob!.... ??

i can only speculate because of verizon's CDMA for Voice and SMS that the international HTC updates won't have the correct radios or bands that work specifically on verizon's band.

What you should do is the following.
Root and S-OFF. Install custom recovery, flash one of the latest rooted Verizon roms from the development section. If you want, flash the radios too.
So, about converting it to international, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the hardware in the Verizon phone is incompatible with the International firmware.

No you can't, To flash OTA you need to be on a device that's never been htcdev unlocked because it deletes some apks out of /preload/app ... or you need to run a RUU and achive full stock and then you can use OTA with stock recovery

You need to be htcdev unlock and root. Once you have that just enter these commands on your pc with your phone connected

adb remount
